Small, quaint, safe, clean. Very basic, but perfect for our needs. Owners/management/staff are incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating. Security staff is 24/7, on property, making me feel safe and secure at all times.

The location is perfect and the beach beautiful . My only complaint is one girl i have never seen before who checked me in not very friendly i had another interaction with her and she was again kinda rude as well I was disturbing her then another friend of mine who i have got to stay there with me the last few times last time for a month she went to inquire on rates for an upcoming stay another month and she told her she doesnt know and she should look online so probably lost a customer . Everything else I love.my.home away from home

Rude front desk.
Pros:

I requested a specific room months before checking in. I told them it was my husband's birthday and wanted everything to be perfect. She assured me I had that room and of course when we get there they already gave my room to someone else. Girl upon check in was rude from the minute we walked in. She didn't greet us, she didn't apologize for giving away my room. They could have said sorry, offered a free dinner or breakfast...something. WiFi hardly works if that is important to u. The beach chairs are extremely uncomfortable solid wood. But other than that we had a nice stay. The vibes are nice there's security. It's beachfront. If you can deal with rude staff it's s good value. The shower was great and the beds were pretty comfortable. Nannette the maid was wonderful

Pros:

Unfortunately, a very bad experience for our family. So much so that we moved to an alternate resort the following morning. The overall facility was substandard and in disrepair - certainly not as portrayed on the Expedia listing. But the biggest issues related to customer service and comfort. A very large sound system was playing loud bass-heavy music until at least 2-3am. Combined with the uncomfortable beds, this made sleep next to impossible. Worse yet, when approached with this complaint, the staff person was dismissive at best and rude at worst. Very poor customer service overall. Will not be returning and feel we are owed a refund for the second night as we had to abandon this facility early.

Pros:

Property is a nice property but everything is old dated and dirty. The is bed is old and in a poor condition, the linen on the beds is between stained or have hole in them, bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly, AC is falling down, the television is so small and don’t work and the chef is so rude so we change our mind from eating there. On the positive note they have a beach and it was clean and nice. Wouldn’t stay again
